"The product"... yum...

they arent using gloves in the beginning. ewww

That does look like a very fun bag.

dont have this in the uk , im hungry now.

I expected controversy and all I got was mouth-watering mexicanity. I prefer homemade tacos myself.

I don't really have anything against Taco Bell, I used to eat there as a kid on the East Coast - there were no other "Mexican" food options. But, if you live in the vicinity of real Taquerias you have no excuse to eat this fake, small-portioned, overpriced shit. I've tried "mexican" food all over CA but I still need to try the famed San Diego burrito. Definitely, though, if all you've ever eaten is "mexican" food from Burrito Max or the Bell - you've gotta try the real deal. After I left a small city on the East Coast a mexican restaraunt moved in and yuppified this type of food. I'll admit it was good - but there is nothing like getting an excellent $4 veggie burrito with free chips and salsa.

I agree with everything you said except that Taco Bell is expensive. That shit is cheap. If I'm resigned to eating fast food and I want as much food as possible for the lowest price, I go to Taco Bell.

I used to work at Taco Bell in high school and my first year of university. That would have been - oh, 15 years ago or so? We didn't have the grill press thing because that crunchwrap thingee hadn't been introduced yet, but everything else looks almost identical to how we were doing it.

Our store was open 24 hours, and since we were in a university town, our busiest time was from 1:30am-3:00am, right around the time the bars closed. We were the only fast food place open, and we'd have lines out to the street in the drive thru, and inside the line would wrap around the inside of the store a few times before trailing out the door.

I worked bar rush a lot, and we could make a box of 20 tacos in about a minute and a half, a bean burrito in 25 seconds, etc etc. It was incredibly cheap food: the box of 20 tacos cost $11.00, a bean burrito was $0.59, and that nachos bel grande was $1.99. It was not healthy by any stretch of the imagination, but when you were a college student who'd just spent your week's grocery money on drinks, it was your best bet to feed yourself.

where's the meat hose?

Are they advertising their food as being easy to eat while driving?

The only thing I ever get from Taco Bell are crunchy tacos, the rest of their food is just nasty. I only get those because the only places open after 9/10pm are McDonald's, What-a-(nastyass)burger and Taco Bell. We have a locally owned Mexican "fast food" place right down the street that has much better tacos than Taco Bell and the dine-in Mexican restaurants.

I believe you're talking about the California Burrito, at least that's what it's called here in San Diego. Indeed it is quite delicious, and probably the item I get most at taco joints here. I've probably had taco bell about 5 times in the last few years. Partly because it's about the fastest meal I can get near my work (leave my desk, eat at TB, and be back at my desk in under 30 minutes), and partly because I have friends that pressure me into it. "You have to try the new _______ at taco bell!" Those items always suck though.

My favorite items at TB are: classic taco, double decker taco, crunch wrap supreme.

Modern Marvels is a great show. However, you have to take everything they show you with a grain of salt. When Modern Marvels tells you they are coming to shoot tape at your location on a specific date and time, you can bet your ass that they are going to clean the place top to bottom with sanitizer, make sure all the vegetables are fresh and not brown and old, etc. Anything shown on Modern Marvels is definitely not representative of what you will see if you were there by yourself, especially when it comes to restaurants.

The quality will pick up, after they win the Franchise Wars.

I got a chuckle out of, "put it in to our easy-to-eat from bag...", *slips food in to standard bag*.

after 3:40 all I could think was this:

mmmm ... product. Tasty.
